As many of you know, Rusty and I became friends with Josh and Tina, another CDH family in the NICU at Shands. There daughter Ella was born in late July and is still in the NICU on a very long road of recovery. Our families became close and leaving was difficult--I was so sure we'd leave around the same time. It was difficult to say goodbye to our friends, but also because Ella was still in the NICU. Since we have been home, precious Ella has not been doing well and it breaks our hearts to read of her struggles--but it gives us joy and hope to see how strong her parents are, and what a fighter she is--we know all too well the helplessness one feels in the NICU at times--their strength and desire for God's plan is amazing. We ask that you will take this time to pray for this precious child who is now back in the NICU 3. We ask that you will specifically pray for answers to the unknowns perplexing Dr. Kays and the nurses.
Love,
Liz, Rusty & Par

Thank you so much you guys for all the love and prayer support. I know with every fiber in my being that it's no accident that we're still in the hospital. In fact, when I met Dr. Kays for the first time, that's what I said to him. "it is no accident that we're here". Our Lord's work is being done through the events that we are experiencing. His Kindom come, His will be done. Love and miss you guys! - Josh
